Creating wedding invitations online

A wedding is one of the most important and special occasions in our life. For most people, it is a once in a lifetime thing.

If you are among those who are getting married soon or plan to get married in the near future, there are a number of things you have to take care of. It is always advisable to keep a checklist.

One of the most important items on that checklist are the invitations. Whether you are planning to invite a few close friends and relatives or even a hundred, make sure you have a nice personalised wedding invitation. As I mentioned before, it is a "one in a lifetime" occasion. On our wedding, I was lucky I had a very creative and resourceful father-in-law who actually designed our wedding invitations and even arranged for their printing.

I realise that not everyone is that lucky and designing and printing out your own invitation cards is not everybody's cup of tea. In fact I strongly advise all those planning to get married to get a professional to do it for you. You may want to take a look at Noel's Gift Shop, an online retailer of personalized wedding invitations and bridal accessories for soon-to-be brides. They provide beautiful personalised wedding invitations at really affordable prices.They have a number of invitation themes. According to the site, their most popular ones are the African wedding invitations, snowflake wedding invitations, fall invitations, seashell invitations and modern invitations. Had to search around a bit before I could find them. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a "popular designs" on a separate page. My wife also commented that the font were a bit too small for her liking.

Overall, the site has a simple design and is quite easy to navigate. They also have a free online catalog in the Acrobat (pdf) format that that you can view and immediately click on an invitation to begin the ordering process.

For your information, they are having a free napkin promotion for the month of March. Check out the site even if you are not getting married soon as they have invitations for other occasions too.
